Ratings and reviews

Top notch Canasta game! I've been playing regularly for a couple of years and average 62% wins. In the early months, my partner frustrated me no end!! I wonder if the algorithm adjusted to my style of play, because I now have great respect for my computer partner; it seems like we work well as a team now. (4 player with partner at 5 stars and opponents at 4 stars.) Have patience! Highly recommend.

I love the game and that the cards are easy to see. A major downside is that the programme seems to be written by someone who has never played the game, and has only a vague idea of strategy, if any! I've tried putting my partner on the highest setting and dumbing down the opposition, but it seems like the designers forgot to programme in some things, like how to play. Play this game for fun, but don't get your blood pressure checked right after. And don't expect a human to respond to anything.

One HUGE Flaw. When playing online a player is allowed to pick up the pile, look through it and put it back! That completely ruins it for the strategic player. I may play 2 black threes, then a card that the other player wants, knowing he can't go out with those 2 black threes. But wait! He picks it up, looks through it and puts it back. Part of any card game strategy is remembering what cards have been played. Eight games in ten someone does this. They are literally allowed to cheat.
